Another piece in the puzzle of Dallas

On 22nd November 1963 I was playing in the street outside our home in Rosebank, Cape Town. My mother appeared at the front gate and called me in - with customary firmness but unusual urgency.

"Come inside at once," she said, "they have killed Kennedy."
"Who is Kennedy?" I asked in six year old innocence.
What I should have asked of course was, "Who is 'they'?"

So whose pawn was Lee Harvey Oswald? Behind the picket fence, on the Grassy Knoll stood 'Badgeman' - or did he? When was JFK's last game of chess? How did this latest finely turned piece find its way past the Warren Commission?  Still so many unanswered questions fifty years on. Maybe mum knows.
